Pere qualified this week in Munich and made the second round, defeating Lacko in 3 sets before losing to Berdych 5-7 1-6. He's further solidified is position in the top 100, and may be getting a WC into Madrid this week coming up. He's had a good season and is starting to put together his potential.

Pere did in fact get a WC to the main draw for Madrid, here is his section of the draw:

Bellucci - Riba
Monaco - Greul
Almagro - Troicki
Bye - Soderling

Very difficult section of the draw, Bellucci will be a very tough mountain to climb over for him, and all of the players in that section are good players. Hopefully the home country support will help drive him to do great things in the match vs. Bellucci and he can cause a couple of upsets during the week. Good luck, Pere!

Pere has a 1-6 match record this season, winning his first round at the Australian Open over Montanes in four sets. He qualified for Acapulco but went 0-4 in main draws during the Golden Swing in Latin America. He qualified and won a match at both Monte Carlo and Madrid last year but outside of that doesn't defend much the first half of the season, so hopefully he can get some wins soon and improve on his current provisional ranking of #82. He's playing the Rabat and Marrakech challengers in Morocco in the upcoming next two weeks so hopefully he has a big run in at least one of the events!
